The weekend of stars on parade in Las Vegas continued yesterday and last night, and we wanted to post them today in a special series of photo galleries rather than wait until tomorrow.

There was an all-star turnout for Tony Hawk’s debut of his video game Tony Hawk: Ride, which he unveiled with a skate carnival at the Wynn yesterday. Peepshow stars Holly Madison and Aubrey O’Day turned up to add glamour to the beefcake provided by tennis superstar and Las Vegas philanthropist Andre Agassi.

The radiant, smiling, contented and at-peace tennis champion returns to the Encore Theater at the Wynn tomorrow for the official launch of his controversial book Open after a meet-and-greet at Borders. Andre promises to answer any and all questions by the media about his shocking and candid revelations in the tell-all biography. It includes stories of his crystal meth use, failed marriage to Brooke Shields and how he found true love, peace and happiness with his wife and fellow tennis legend Steffi Graf.

Tony’s action-sports carnival featured a Vert Demo with icons of skateboarding and BMX on his own personal ramp, plus the preview of his new game Tony Hawk: Ride. Additional entertainment included a musical performance by Rancid, games, food and auctions. Proceeds from the afternoon benefit his Tony Hawk Foundation, which operates Stand Up For Skateparks to help empower at-risk youth through the creation of free, quality, public skateparks in low-income U.S. communities.

Shayne Lamas @LAX

My, do little girls grow up big! I’ve known Shayne since she was a tiny child with TV heartthrob parents Lorenzo Lamas and Shauna Sands, and never did I think back then that she’d turn out to be this ravishing beauty and celebrating her 24th birthday at LAX in the Luxor. Our contributing photographer Scott Harrison captured the fun and hijinx for this photo album.

In fact, Shayne made it a weekend-long celebration with a first-night party at the wild and crazy Coyote Ugly bar in New York-New York on Friday night and followed with the LAX event that was still going strong early this morning.

Everclear @Hard Rock Cafe Strip

Everclear performed at the new Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip, and our local rising band favorites Theory of Flight kicked off the packed show for them. Once again, Scott was front and center for the electrifying performance.

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian

For the first time in her three consecutive weekend concert appearances at Treasure Island, singer LeAnn Rimes went public with new boyfriend actor Eddie Cibrian. They’d met, while both married to others, on the set of a Lifetime movie this year, and their romance created tabloid headlines with LeAnn’s husband and Eddie’s wife both shocked by their runaway spouses! LeAnn and Eddie were spotted at nightclub czar Victor Drai’s XS at Steve Wynn’s Encore into the early hours.
